Get More People to Listen to Your Podcast
Not so long ago, there was a very limited range of podcasts worth listening to. If you wanted to listen to a podcast about your favorite sports team, you would only have a few to choose from. Now, there are likely to be dozens of podcasts for every sports team.Charts are therefore becoming a crucial tool for podcast listeners who need as much help as they can sorting the good from the bad. The only problem for podcasters is getting enough listeners in the first place. Luckily, Spotify wants to help with that.
